Capo 2
Intro follows Chorus
(Chorus)
Em B7
Won't you bury me beneath the tree
D A
where my family lies where my family lies
Em B7
let the fog lay low on the mountain high
D Em
hear the willow cry hear the willow cry
C G
Ain't no redemption for the thing that I have done
D Am
the devil owns you once the bullet 's left the gun
C G
all I can think of with this rope around my neck
Am B7
is i'd be much abliged if you grant me one request
Won't you bury me beneath the tree
where my family lies where my family lies
let the fog lay low on the mountain high
hear the willow cry hear the willow cry
My soul turned black as coal when I walked the streets at night
'cause in my heart I knew that something wasn't right
and I went crazy when I found her with that man
but I felt better once the blood was on my hands
Won't you bury me beneath the tree
where my family lies where my family lies
let the fog lay low on the mountain high
hear the willow cry hear the willow cry
Won't you bury me beneath the tree
where my family lies where my family lies
let the fog lay low on the mountain high
hear the willow cry hear the willow cry
hear the willow cry hear the willow cry
